Galanthus 'Angustifolius'

15th February 2005

Galanthus angustifolius is a rare species from the northern Caucasus allied to Galanthus alpinus.
It has narrow glaucous leaves and large flowers.
The name has also been applied to a narrow leaved form of Galanthus nivalis.
I bought my bulb from Broadleigh Gardens in 1987, and it has slowly clumped up. It is the G. nivalis form
not the species.
